    Mamdani has a much better chance than AOC, you think the US is a super civilized country but you guys elected Trump twice

      If you don’t know the most basic 8th-grade level facts about US government, maybe don’t opine on US politics.

        India and Mexico already had female presidents and both of those countries have very intrinsic machismo, but the US is not there yet. I don’t have any faith in the US, most likely scenario is that Trump runs a 3rd term because laws, logic and consequences don’t apply to him

          What you missed is that AOC has a much better chance than Mamdani. Why? Because Mamdani’s chances are essentially zero. Mamdani immigrated to the US. Only natural-born citizens can be president. Mamdani becoming president would require the removal of this constitutional provision. That would require an act to pass by 2/3rds vote in both chambers of Congress and then for that amendment to be ratified by 3/4 of all the individual state legislatures. While this is theoretically possible, it’s essentially impossible. Immigration is already unpopular in the US. And there’s no way you’re getting 3/4s of the states, including many deep red Republican states, to amend the constitution so Mamdani can be president.

        Although they are clearly incorrect about NYC mayors having a good chance at running for president, you are wrong about the us. You suck, you are bringing the world down, and you better get used to people having opinions about the us (most will be negative) and voicing them to you. Its going to happen more and more as time goes on, and just like when us has had opinions on almost every other place on earth for the last 80 ish years they are going to shove it in your face whenever possible.
